Last night at the Game Awards, Reggie Fils-Aime delivered a show-stopper of an announcement, revealing that the new Legend of Zelda title was coming along a lot quicker than initially expected. From there, he deferred to Eiji Aonuma and Shigeru Miyamoto who engaged in banter about the game while letting details slip about a new Star Fox title and the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask remake for the 3DS.

The footage is astounding, showcasing a beautiful open world, a new beacon system, a world map which is always available on the Gamepad, and some stunning horse-back riding acrobatics.

With this, the first new title in Nintendo’s most successful franchise, gamers can expect the Nintendo community to go nuts, and by the end of 2015, for Wii Us to start flying off of the shelves.

The Legend of Zelda is set for a TBA release in 2015. Check out the gameplay footage below.
